Chemical Structure

4-(Trifluoromethyl)Benzaldehyde CAS 455-19-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4-(Trifluoromethyl)Benzaldehyde.

4-(Trifluoromethyl)Benzaldehyde (CAS 455-19-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H5F3O and a molecular weight of 174.12 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 4-(Trifluoromethyl)Benzaldehyde (C8H5F3O) is characterized by a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
